About this deal

PF is going to be a little harder maybe to track down the components for at this point, so Powered Up does get a plus for availability. Are you looking for the manual of your Lego set 10194 Creator Emerald night in a different language? Hell, I am quite the train guy tbh, but all that comes to mind when I think of Chinese trains is either licenced versions of other countries' locos or run-of-the-mill utilitarian workhorses with no sort of rememberability whatsoever.

For some reason there is no gap under the rails and the sleepers, which are formed of dark brown 1x4 tiles between the rails and 1x1 plates on the outside, do not go underneath them. Although this is a "Power Functions" setup, this particular setup existed only for the Emerald Night, as a new motor was in development. It wasn't a problem before there was a "reply" button, but now people just hit it to give a two line response to a multi-paragraph post. The only train I have is the Emerald Night that has been circling our winter village display for the last 10 years.I am impressed, and convinced I need to build some elevated "electric" lines over my rails so this Crocodile Locomotive can run as intended!

Includes three minifigures, elements in rare colors and all-new large train wheels with piston motion! I think the earliest batch-related issue I've ever heard of was the black rubber bands from the earliest Bionicle sets that debuted in 2001. I can't speak for sets before then, because I wasn't paying attention through that period, but it was a period where a lot of Lego's decisions were less than great, which probably played a part too. Look, the simple fact of the matter is: pretty as the Emerald Night may be, it isn't a particularly good representation of a steam locomotive. They are iconic in continental Europe, where several similar designs were used in other countries, but perhaps not so much in North America and the UK.

At some point during the show, one of the other members wanted to swap trains and threw the switch to drive it onto the switched line. Parts made before that span were fine, and parts made after that span should be as well (they've apparently claimed they solved the problem). While it's appealing to the European market, an American or a Chinese train might have been a better money maker. The British A4 would make a great piece, I also think a massive late American steamer like Big Boy would be insanely cool, or if Lego wanted to experiment with narrow gauge something weird like a Ffestiniog Double Fairlie would be neat.

So this say this is a strictly European train, maybe so, but the shorter versions of such trains were a worldwide thing in the early 1900s. Unless you know you live around a lot of Lego newbies or just plain saps who will pay whatever you say its worth, Lego investment is a fool's game unless you just happen to have tons of capital already to throw at it. Only after few weeks, the same train model (different build, obviously, but 90% similar), with the same color, and even the same black faded background renders was presented by TLG as new 18+ set.Plus, many of my construction ms back then didn't adhere to LEGO's building rules so that quite often my techniques looked cool and worked but might have overstressed the parts used. If an IDEAS project doesn't reach the minimum number of supporters I don't expect Lego to take the same idea and sell it on another theme (even if they contractually can). Disclaimer: BrickLink does not guarantee an inventory to be correct and therefore an inventory should be only used as a guide. This program is no longer supported, but was the inspiration for similar programs such as TrackDraw by Cary Clark (no longer supported), and BlueBrick by Alban Nanty which is still supported at the time of writing.
